I think your statement about me promoting merchandise is a bit much. If I believe in a product and this it will benefit my customers I'm going to use the resources I have to promote it.

I sell a ton of Sportmask and Eddy masks. Know why? I believe they are the best made masks on the market and I feel good selling them to customers who trust me to keep their heads and their children's heads safe. There are several manufacturers or certain models I don't recommend because I don't believe they meet my standards.

no one is trying to turn you into a Zach Sikich robot. coaching, drills and instruction are all preparation for game situations. I don't think the intention is to make everyone make the same save and same movements all the time. I can easily incorporate a lot of this into my game, but some will not simply because I will also still play my game. You cannot teach desperation saves, I think it is unrealistic to have a drill, where you fall on your belly and flail your arms hoping to catch a puck, you know what I mean? that's purely an in game spur of the moment save that comes from experience, knowing where a guy is likely to shoot, knowing the timing of the shot etc. the same way you might see a goalie on tv with a certain technique and mimic it, this video actually goes into what to do, how to do it and why you do it. I think where this will see the most benefit is with goalies who can't afford or have little or no access to good coaching where they are, or goalies who have got the fundamentals in place and want to put those to further use.

I sell a ton of Brian's and Vaughn gear, that's because I believe they make the best stuff, a customer comes in, the first thing out their mouth is, what do you think is the best pad, what plays best, has better durability etc and those two seem to do it better than anyone else.

I'm not going to get rich selling 2 dozen, or 20 dozen or 1200 dozen of these dvd's, bringing them on here is a way to expose people to it and hopefully people buy it and like it.
